All the teams but one were registered yesterday and I spoke to the team in question after running into them late last night at Peter Hallman Ballyard … they were delayed at the car rental agency in Toronto, then one of their guys got nabbed in a radar trap on the highway and none of them got into town until after 8 pm … they’ll be early at registration … talked to Corey Costello last night – he’s pumped about being here with his own team and will have the ball tonight against Orangeville … the main field at Budd Park is in great shape … there is a big garden on the top of the hill overlooking the park and everything, including the Sportsjuice hookups are ready to go!<\/p>\n
On tap for broadcasts today:
\n12 pm Ashland vs CPI – Blair Setford & Jim Flanagan
\n2 pm Ottawa vs Toronto – Lance Winn & David Bakker
\n4 pm Elora vs Rice Creek – Blair & Joe Todd
\n7 pm Bridgeport vs California – Jim & Blair
\n9 pm Elmira vs Denver – Jim & Blair<\/p>\n
If you’re at the park, look for the Diamond Dirt newsletter … starting tomorrow there will be a daily ISC II column with scores, tidbits and highlights … the park at PHBY was about 80% full for last night’s Kitchener game vs Vandalia – the Twins in their brand new uni’s got up 6-0 in the first and then never got a hit after that, but the outcome was never in doubt … Todd Martin left after 5 without giving up a hit … Don Scott came in and threw gas … gave up one single and had a bunch of K’s … if you haven’t tried it yet, try ISC TV … go with the 200% screen size (right click on the image in your WMP to change the setting … it’s great to see video with audio for fastball altho’ you need a clean broadband connection or you will get buffering.<\/p>\n
If you’ve read this far, keep reading throughout the day as I’ll post more observations, highlights etc. as the day goes on. <\/p>\n
Email us during the broadcasts at live@ballparkradio.com if you’ve got questions or comments.<\/p>\n
Cheers,<\/p>\n
